Create an Enrollment Request#

This plugin is connected with your Open edX platform; if you could create your JWT token. Now, if you want to rectify that, you can create enrollments. To do that, you need to generate enrollment requests manually by following these steps:

  1. Enter the Enrollments Manager option in your WordPress dashboard’s Open edX Sync tab, and click Add New.
